Evan Purcell's new CD, Attachments, was scheduled to be released last month at Shakabrah Java, but alas, it was not meant to be. Tacoma's longtime favorite acoustic music venue decided to be a little less shaka and a little more java and canceled all of its music performances. But Sixth Avenue's loss was Parkland's gain because Friday Purcell's dream child will be released at Northern Pacific Coffee Company Friday, Jan. 19, one of the coziest, well loved coffeehouses in the South Sound.
